slash 2020 podcast. A wife goes missing. Is her stalker responsible? 2020 starts right now.

You look into that bright open face of hers and you think,

how could she be hiding so many secrets? There was a lot of pictures all over Rockford

of a Katrina Smith that was missing. Seconds count, minutes count, and so we were doing everything

we possibly could to try to find her. Maybe Katrina's hiding, maybe she doesn't want to be found.

It's been horrible. They said I'd be back later. And it's less than you heard of her.

You can't even believe that you're going to a park or a wooded area to like search for

your sister's body potentially. And it's like we wanted to find her, but you don't want to find her either.

Katrina Smith had reported that someone was stalking her.

There was a teenager who had some sort of an unhealthy infatuation with her.

Katrina's boss comes into the detective's bureau and says something bizarre happened in this

parking lot. Bizarre barely covers it. Some guy throwing flyers out of the car containing some

really outrageous accusations against Katrina. Where does that piece of the puzzle fit in?

We knocked on every door. We went through almost every backyard looking for evidence.

And so what did you discover? Like somebody sprinkling breadcrumbs like a trail.

Why are you throwing them in these odd places where they can likely be found?

Is somebody playing a game of cat and mouse? Is Katrina herself leaving clues? Nobody knows,

but everybody's terrified.

It's another wise ordinary Friday in October of 2012.
